Re: gnome-mag cursor focus position

2007-07-10 Thread Peter Korn
Hi Aurelian,

If you are running gnome-mag directly (e.g. 'magnifier'), and have it 
tracking the mouse directly (e.g. 'magnifier -m'), then the mouse 
pointer will be in the center of the screen automatically by default.

If you are running gnome-mag via a screen reader like Orca or 
Gnopernicus, then you need to set the appropriate setting in your screen 
reader (e.g. Mouse tracking mode to Centered).

 Hello,
  
 Is there any setting I can change to make gnome-mag keep cursor focus 
 in the middle of the magnification window, like it does with mouse 
 pointer focus, not at the right margin? To be more clear, I want to 
 see the characters I'm typing in the middle of the magnification 
 window, like it used to be in previous versions of orca and/or 
 gnome-mag. From what I understand, this is an orca setting, but I 
 can't find it anywhere.
  
 Thank you,
 Aurelian

Re: gnome-mag cursor focus position

2007-07-10 Thread Aurelian Radu

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your answer.

I was referring to the cursor in applications where you enter text. The
mouse pointer is indeed centered when using the magnifier alone or through
orca. But I need to use orca if I want gnome-mag to follow text editing or
keyboard focus. The cursor is not centered, the magnifier follows it only
when it reaches the end of the magnification screen.

I know my description isn't very clear, but try to write something in
oowriter or gedit while using gnome-mag through orca and you'll see what I
mean.

Thanks again,

Aurelian

2007-07-10 Thread Carlos DiĆ³genes

Hi Aurelian,

Send a message to the Orca mailing list:
http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list

This is certainly the best place for you question.

You can also find a lot of informations about Orca configuration in
http://live.gnome.org/Orca, although I don't find anything related with the
option you want at a first glance.

Best regards,
Carlos.

problem with orca on the live cd.

2007-07-10 Thread mike coulombe
Hi, has anyone been able to find out what is going on with the live CD.
I see orca still doesn't work. I am able to get updates on the one I installed 
on a computer a few days ago using yasr, but none of the updates have fixed the 
problem with orca. 
If I run orca from the terminal it says welcome to orca setup and speech stops.
I also notice the login sound is now gone.
Mike.
